WonderPost: Superman Reunion, Artist Alley, Amy Mebberson, Patrick Ballesteros, Book Signing

We know, okay? You want to know when WonderCon badges will go on sale, but beyond “January” — whose days are quickly dwindling — we just don’t have an answer for you yet. But what we do have is lots of news about the convention itself, for when you do get a badge (whenever that might be).

We’ve got updates on a Superman reunion, a ton of artist alley confirmations, including fan favorites like Amy Mebberson and Patrick Ballesteros, book signings, a panel, and much more.

Here’s some things you might have missed:

  • Children’s book author Henry Herz took to Twitter to announce that he will be moderating a “Kid Lit” panel at WonderCon this year, with fellow authors Drew Daywalt, Molly Idle, Jenni Holm, Salina Yoon, and Brian Won.

  • Mantamaji – a graphic novel by television director Dean Seaton, is heading out on a book tour this year, with a stop at both San Diego Comic-Con and WonderCon. More information about his tour can be found on his website.
  • Comic artist and the writer of Kick-Girl Val Hochberg revealed on Facebook that she will also be headed to both WonderCon and San Diego Comic-Con this year. Her full convention schedule can be found on her website.

The Superman Super Site is reporting that several cast members of the Richard Donner directed Superman films will be headed to WonderCon for a special “Superman: The Richard Donner Years Celebrity Super Reunion”. Slated to appear are Margot Kidder (Lois Lane), Sarah Douglas (Ursa), Marc McClure (Jimmy Olsen), Valerie Perrine (Miss Eve Teschmarcher), Diane Sherry Case (Lana Lang), and Aaron Smolinski (baby Clark Kent), as well as the author of the 1978 book, The Making of Superman: The Movie. The Caped Wonder, who is sponsoring the reunion, has posted on Facebook that fans will be able to get both autographs and photographs with the cast in the floor, and that it’s possible a panel Q&A could happen as well.
